Problems connecting using a cable to the ICX 7150 from a Mac

[golfmad]

I installed the drivers for Mac and tried to connect using the USB-C to USB-C but in the /dev/cu.* there is no device that looks like the Silicon labs. Then I tried a USB-C to USB-A plugged into a dongle that allows me to connect to the USB-C on the Mac. Still no luck. Then I tried the RJ45 plugged into the switch with the other end of the RJ45 plugged into a dongle that goes into the USB-C on the Mac. Still no luck.

What is the best cable combination to connect the switch to a Mac?

Thanks,

Jonathan

Ok, good news. I managed to resolve the problem with the drivers. I could not get any combination of cable + USB dongle to work on my Mac Book Pro but I then tried using an older Mac Pro which had a physical USB-A socket. I took a USB-C to USB-C cable and plugged one end into the switch and the other end via a USB-C to USB-A adaptor into the Mac Pro. I installed the same driver software on the Mac Pro and I'm now connected via the command line.

The next problem is passwords. I have followed the steps to change the password for super and I also added a new user with a new password but when I try to login to the switch using the IP address on my network it keeps returning to the credentials page and won't let me in.

If I add a user using the user <usermame> pass <password> on the CLI, should I be able to log in to the switch using the IP address with those credentials?

Thanks, Jonathan

Hi @golfmad 

Thanks for your response.

Please try the most common username and passwords ( This is key sensitive so please include capital letters )  

Username:admin password: Ruckus! 

Username:admin password: Ruckus1

Username:admin password: Lennar

Username:super password: sp-admin

Admin usernames and passwords for the Ruckus Wi-Fi Access Points/Switch for Lennar home users

None of those combinations work with either super or admin.

I have access to the CLI and I changed the password for super but that doesn't work either. I get to this page. Is this the page where I should be able to log in using the super user and the password I set in the CLI? 

After setting the password using:

user super password <password>

Do I need any other steps like wr mem then reload? I can't understand why my password setting is not working?

Thanks

Hi @golfmad 

Thanks for your response.

In order to allow the correct authentication please run the following commands:

enable

configure terminal

device(config)# username super password pass

Where the username is ’super’ and password ‘pass’

 
Device(config)#crypto key generate rsa

device(config)# aaa authentication login default local

Now you could try using your new credentials to log in.

Please let us know if you have any queries in this regard.

Thanks. I followed those instructions to the letter. As I had already done them before I received an error on the "crypto key generate rsa" line saying "Key already exists. Please zeroise it". Is it safe to ignore that?

I set the password for super but it fails to accept it when I try to login using the IP address.

It just comes straight back to the credentials enter point as shown below.

The firmware I have (from show version) is 08.0.80dT213. Should I try to upgrade it and start from the beginning? Any other suggestions?

Thanks
